A Vicious Female Rival Omega is Sweet and Soft - Chapter 12
That sentence sounded far too familiar. Ye Yixi did not know how to respond, so she could only twitch the corners of her mouth and laugh awkwardly to brush it off.
As expected of a standard line from a Mary Sue domineering CEO novel. It was just that the character roles seemed to have been reversed… Had she accidentally triggered some fixed NPC routine?
However, the identity of being the first Alpha Shen Qingran had ever brought home…
Ye Yixi pursed her lips and savored it carefully. It really did sound pleasant.
While feeling a little happy, she also wondered whether Miss Shen was a little too innocent. She was rich and so beautiful, yet she had never looked for an Alpha before?
So were all these settings meant to pave the way for Shen Qingran’s future obsessive love for Gu An?
The wealthy young lady Shen Qingran, who had always been cold toward Alphas, was treated gently by Gu An, an artist under her company. Through spending time together, she gradually fell in love. Who would have thought that Gu An actually liked that silly-sweet Zhen Xiaobai, who was inferior to her in every way! So Shen Qingran turned dark and twisted, transforming into a vicious female supporting character who caused trouble in every possible way and obstructed the Alpha-Omega leads from falling in love, only to end up with a tragic ending!
Once Ye Yixi’s imagination opened up, she could not stop at all. In just a few minutes, she had imagined an eight-o’clock melodramatic love triangle drama, and it was the most old-fashioned kind from twenty years ago.
But the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Shen Qingran’s role was simply to be a stepping stone and tool for the protagonists’ romance. The same went for herself. These rigid, stereotyped settings felt uncomfortable no matter how she looked at them.
Although this was only a world inside a book, Ye Yixi had been here for some time now. She could no longer treat the people she interacted with as mere fictional characters. In her heart, every person here was a real, living person of flesh and blood. No one should be treated carelessly…
As Ye Yixi thought this, that idea in her heart began to sprout again, as if it were about to break through the soil.
Now, she did not only want to change her own fate. She also wanted to change more things… Even if it was only a little, at least she would have tried.
“Miss Ye, it’s right here! My Ranran… no, my Miss Shen is waiting for you inside. Please go in!”
“Mm… alright.”
Ye Yixi, who had still been lost in thought, immediately looked up when Aunt Wu called out to her. After subconsciously replying, she realized Aunt Wu was no longer standing in front of her.
The woman had slipped downstairs in a flash, moving so nimbly it was almost like a loach…
Also, what had she just called Shen Qingran?
Ranran?
That nickname was strangely cute.
But when Ye Yixi looked carefully, she was a little dumbfounded.
Why were there two doors in front of her?
One room was pink and delicate, while the other looked very cool-toned.
Ah, it was all her fault for being distracted just now and not seeing which room Aunt Wu had pointed to!
Forget it. Whatever.
After hesitating for a while, Ye Yixi finally chose to enter the room with the pink door. There was no other reason. She still remembered that the last time she rode in Shen Qingran’s car, there had been several pink plush dolls hanging inside. That meant Shen Qingran liked this kind of style.
So after slowly turning the door handle, Ye Yixi carefully poked her head inside.
The room was very large. A faint floral fragrance rushed toward her. It was a very fresh scent, probably from some aromatherapy placed in the room. There was also a soft carpet spread over the floor.
Ye Yixi felt embarrassed to step on it with her shoes, so she had no choice but to take them off. But after revealing her socks, Ye Yixi felt even more embarrassed, because today she was wearing a pair of Crayon Shin-chan cartoon socks.
This was completely different from the style of her leather jacket outfit right now!
With no other choice, Ye Yixi could only steel herself and continue walking inside.
Although the room was quite large, after wandering around, she did not find Shen Qingran. In fact, she did not even see half a shadow of her.
Had she entered the wrong room?
Ye Yixi was just about to leave when an orange ball suddenly rushed toward her with a whoosh. If one did not know better, they might think it was some kind of hidden weapon. The sudden situation frightened her so much that her feet became unsteady, and she fell straight onto the carpet.
“What is this thing?! Oww, my tailbone!”
Ye Yixi sat up while rubbing her waist, complaining nonstop. But when she looked closely, she discovered that the big ball was not some hidden weapon at all. It was the big orange cat she had saved that day.
“I remember you. Your name is Pangfu, right?”
She immediately put on an auntie-like smile, and all the unhappiness from earlier vanished. This cat was truly cute, chubby and round, looking blessed at first glance. No wonder it was called Pangfu.
She held Pangfu in her arms and vigorously rubbed the fur on its head. The orange cat purred comfortably. Ye Yixi really could not help giving it several hard kisses.
After petting the cat, Ye Yixi finally remembered the proper matter. She had come here today to discuss things with Shen Qingran. Wasn’t she making Shen Qingran wait for a long time?
So she let go of Pangfu and hurriedly got up, stepping on the carpet as she prepared to run outside.
But this whole series of sneaky movements had already been seen by Shen Qingran.
When Ye Yixi turned around and saw Shen Qingran’s face, her entire body petrified on the spot.
How did this person walk without making any sound?
But in the next second, Ye Yixi knew why Shen Qingran had made no sound. Her gaze moved downward and saw a pair of fair bare feet on the carpet.
Shen Qingran gave Ye Yixi a reproachful look, then sat down on the sofa. She crossed her long legs and looked Ye Yixi up and down.
“Miss Ye, what are you doing here?”
“Wasn’t it Miss Shen who asked Aunt Wu to bring me here?”
Ye Yixi really did not know. At this moment, both her tone and expression made her look like a complete fool.
But Shen Qingran’s expression seemed not to believe her. With her arms crossed and one leg swaying, she looked like she was interrogating a criminal.
“Do you know… this is my private bathing room?”
“…”
Now Ye Yixi truly could not defend herself.
How had she ended up being treated like a pervert the first time she came to Shen Qingran’s house?
But this place was actually a bathroom?
Looking left and right, she had not found where the showerhead was. There were walls everywhere, and she did not even know where Shen Qingran had emerged from. Also, since it was a bathing room, why was the door not locked?
Ye Yixi’s heart was full of complaints.
But after hearing those words, Ye Yixi finally noticed Shen Qingran’s current appearance. Her hair and delicate cheeks were covered with misty moisture. She was wearing only a loose bathrobe, and her bare toes tapped lightly against the floor from time to time. She clearly looked like she had just finished bathing.
Seeing Ye Yixi stammering and unable to answer, Shen Qingran gave up on the wicked idea of continuing to tease her. She raised her brows and hooked a finger, telling Ye Yixi to come over, as if calling a puppy.
Shen Qingran’s bathrobe was already rather large, and at this moment, it revealed a wide expanse of fair collarbone. She sat in the center of the sofa with a faint smile at the corner of her lips. The way she crooked her finger truly made her look like a bewitching fairy.
Beautiful.
This person was truly too beautiful…
Ye Yixi walked over uncontrollably. The warm-toned room made the atmosphere at this moment feel somewhat ambiguous. She stood beside Shen Qingran’s sofa and looked down at her from above. Their eyes met, as if some kind of emotion had begun to spread.
Shen Qingran was not afraid at all. Instead, her smile deepened.
She raised her head and looked at Ye Yixi, who was pretending to be relaxed. But Ye Yixi’s reddened ears had already betrayed her.
Under Ye Yixi’s surprised gaze, Shen Qingran directly tugged at Ye Yixi’s collar and hooked her closer.
It was completely unexpected.
Because of the momentum, Ye Yixi subconsciously braced her arms against the sofa. At this moment, she was extremely close to Shen Qingran, so close that their breaths fell across each other’s faces. Shen Qingran’s fingers were still hooked into Ye Yixi’s collar, and her gaze carried an unreadable meaning.
The heat made the tip of Ye Yixi’s nose itch. She could not help turning her gaze away.
“Miss Shen, what exactly are you trying to do?”
“I don’t mean anything else. I just thought about it a little this afternoon. I kept wondering whether a person could undergo many changes in a short period of time. What do you think, Miss Ye?”
Hearing this, Ye Yixi’s heart thumped.
Shen Qingran seemed to be implying something, and it was very pointed.
What did she mean?
Was she testing her?
“The appearance hasn’t changed, but the personality has completely changed. For example…”
Shen Qingran reached out and gently pinched Ye Yixi’s chin, forcing her gaze to meet her own, as if she wanted to see through her heart.
“As if the person inside has been replaced.”
This time, Ye Yixi truly panicked.
It felt like being struck by lightning. Her heart pounded wildly. She held her breath and tried her best to calm herself down.
Shen Qingran was really terrifying.
Could she have truly seen through her?
These days, she had indeed acted far too friendly toward Shen Qingran. But what differed most from the original owner’s personality was the matter of Shen Qingran going into heat last time. She had gone against the system’s requirements and had points forcibly deducted…
Since Shen Qingran had noticed something, Ye Yixi could not deviate from her character setting anymore. Otherwise, wouldn’t the system jump out and deduct all of her pitiful points? Would she still be able to return to the real world then?
Thinking of this, Ye Yixi narrowed her eyes.
Her acting skills took over again.
Instead of getting angry, she smiled. She allowed Shen Qingran to approach her, then even cooperated by actively leaning her face closer.
At this moment, their posture was already ambiguous to the extreme. Their noses touched. If she lowered her head even slightly, their lips would meet.
Ye Yixi deliberately made her gaze frivolous. She openly looked Shen Qingran over from her collarbone to her thighs. A detestable sense of flippancy swept in, and sure enough, Shen Qingran began to frown.
“Oh? What Miss Shen is talking about sounds quite strange. I really haven’t encountered anything like that…”
Ye Yixi lowered her voice, deliberately adding a bit of a husky tone. She even blew her breath beside Shen Qingran’s ear.
“However, that kind of setting does appear in quite a few scripts. Could it be that Miss Shen has read too many novels?”
After saying this, Ye Yixi even let out a soft laugh.
Shen Qingran could no longer endure it. With disgust, she shoved Ye Yixi away and immediately returned to her cold expression. She even patted herself, as if brushing off something dirty.
Sigh.
Ye Yixi’s heart instantly cooled by a large margin.
She felt that the little bit of favorability she had finally accumulated with Shen Qingran had been knocked back to its original state. But there was nothing she could do. Right now, she absolutely could not expose herself. Every step she took was for the sake of saving her own life.
“Alright, Miss Ye. Tonight, I do need to discuss Gu An’s matter with you. I’ll change my clothes first. Please move to the room next door and wait.”
“Alright. Then I’ll head over first.”
Ye Yixi finally breathed a sigh of relief. After replying politely, she left and walked into the other cool-toned room.
Sure enough, this side was the office. The interior was very simple, only black and white.
Thinking back to what had just happened, she still felt a lingering fear.
It seemed she had to be even more careful from now on.
